I'm suprised that the entire world isn't expecting the US Navy to save them from pirates.
I'm glad to see the navies of other nations spending time and resources with this problem.

Yes, twice in one week, amazing!

Heck, the South Koreans actually machine gunned the pirates that were making their way towards another ship.

The horror, the horror!

In other pirate news, we have this:

I am not. We will probably grant the perps refugee status. You don't approach another vessel on the high seas without the permission of its Captain. It is an old rule and a very sound rule. Sort of like the rule in the Southwest: "An armed society is a polite society." Same at sea.

I’m sure you are not the only one to think that the US should be the savior from pirates, it would bring down a firestorm of media and diplomatic attacks on the US.

When I read your post, my thought was maybe they are in the guise of these lesser countries taking the lead with back channel support from the American alphabet agencies.

Something had definitely changed.
